rants, not helpful guys, really.... you might be frustrated but that's not the way to solve those issues, there is just not enough contributors working on those packages to fix all the issues, no complaining, ranting, insulting will change that, you will just maybe manage to demovative the few contributors that try to be helpful to do less

it has a medium impact on a non default desktop environment, that's not an issue under unity or unity-2d or kde or xfce...

that's wrong, as pointed before and detailed by Didier the patch fixes and issue in the default desktop environment

the problem is maybe the low ration of maintainer compared to the number of softwares and users. Take a step back there, the system you are using is made by people, who often work crazy number of hours in a week on in their evenings, on a product you get for free, are you complaining that those people just don't work hard enough to your taste? Do you think it's right of fair to hit harder on them because the result is not perfect? Do you think it's going to "solve" all the problems?

The statements you do there are just wrong, the fix is required for the default Ubuntu desktop so it's not as easy as dropping it, the default desktop is what most of the current desktop team is running which explains why we sometime not notice issues happening in other variants, we would welcome help maintaining GNOME and gnome-shell though and we would welcome patches for those "easy-to-fix" bugs gnome-shell users run into, what about stepping up and trying to help rather than complain that other don't give enough of their time?
